"A Sketch of the Life of the Late Henry Cooper" by William Cooper is a biographical account written in the mid-19th century. The narrative focuses on the life of Henry Cooper, a barrister, and his father, Charles Cooper, both of whom were well-respected figures in the legal profession in Norwich. The book intends to highlight the struggles, achievements, and personal qualities of Henry Cooper, emphasizing his rise to prominence and the impact of his untimely death on those who loved him. At the start of this memoir, the author reflects on his brother Henry's life, outlining their father's humble beginnings and educational journey that fostered a profound thirst for knowledge. After detailing Charles Cooper's rise to success as a barrister and the challenges faced as a farmer, the narrative shifts to Henry's adventures, including a stint in the Navy and his eventual decision to return to law. Early anecdotes underscore Henry's witty personality and charisma, setting the stage for his professional aspirations and eventual recognition within the legal community. The opening also reveals the close family dynamics and the unfortunate events that would lead to Henry's early demise, creating a sense of nostalgia and sorrow as the author grapples with the memories of his brother's brilliance and potential.
